Can't wait to have a coffee at the cafe overlooking scenic Steeles Ave W. Trying to rehabilitate our traffic sewers seems like an exercise in futility. Steeles is an 8 lane highway here, with heavy truck traffic that is not going away (this is the main distribution cluster for the GTA). Why don't we let our traffic sewers be traffic sewers and treat them as periphery instead of the centre.
Approx location of the cafe in the in the plan above, looking east. Try to enjoy your macchiato and scone while being serenaded by engine brakes from the trucks trundling by.

There isn't a lot of heavy truck traffic here, apart from retail deliveries. Through trucks are banned from Main Street north of Steeles. The truck traffic on Steeles in Brampton is only bad east of Rutherford Road and west of Mississauga Road.
